character. CHARACTER NAME: Beatrix SERIES: Final Fantasy IX CANON POINT: Post-game. APPEARANCE: ba-dum DESIRED CLASS & REASONING: Edge Punisher. Her only sword in her game is a two-handed blade called Save The Queen, which has always been classed as a greatsword throughout the FF series. Whilst her canon class is 'paladin', she has only a limited pool of admittedly impressive holy powers, with her main strength being her implacable sword skills, so her canon skills and spells will be enough - as far as I can see. she doesn't need to multiclass into Harvest Cleric or anything like that. She's canonically 'the best swordsperson in the land' so. SWORDS SWORDS SWORDS. :|b
PERSONALITY: Beatrix is a woman who experiences the shattering and reshaping of her country, her loyalties and her love throughout the course of a single game. She can be viewed in several stages: we are first introduced to Beatrix the Arrogant, legendary warrior and General of the Alexandrian army so intent on wiping out the other populations on their Mist Continent. A name feared and respected in equal amounts by all who seek the warrior path, she is both physically and mentally strong, having achieved the highest military rank and a reputation across the land for her prowess. And boy does she know it. She is fully aware of her ability, her determination, and her drive to succeed, and she isn't afraid to say it. She comes off as conceited, though it's more a full understanding of her own power - not once does the main party come out of a battle against her victorious. This pride - this self-awareness - is one of Beatrix's key personality traits. She's good, and she knows it. She has trained for years, taken part in countless battles, and sworn total and unending loyalty to her country to get where she is. It's unsurprising that her reaction to a challenge by an ordinary thief is amusement followed by a mocking claim of humiliation. Her reputation is as much a weapon as her sword.
Loyalty is her second incarnation. Beatrix has sworn allegiance to Alexandria, and continues to serve despite the obvious misgivings she harbours about the methods her Queen demands. Only when she is faced with the order to kill her Princess does she rebel, swearing fealty to the daughter rather than the mother who has gone so astray. And when she changes sides, she does so without shame and without hesitation. She rejects her old oaths, even as she accepts that this makes her a traitor deserving of death. She cannot ask for forgiveness for the atrocities she committed in the name of the queen, but so long as she does what is right and just, she can atone even slightly by securing the future. That is her belief. As she would treat any other deserter, so she expects to be treated herself. In fact, her reinstation as General by the newly-crowned Queen Garnet is as surprising to her as anything, but who is she to question the decisions of royalty? Beatrix will obey any order without remorse or hesitation, to the best of her considerable ability, even if that order is to once again serve the country she betrayed.
All in all, Beatrix is a proud and noble woman who treats all with impeccable manners and unswerving dedication. She is a leader, and a damned good one at that, and her ability to inspire both fear in her enemies and respect and adoration from her people is a marker of such. Strong, implacable, and a role model for her forces, there is no greater ally.
